I would love to help all charities and get a lot of requests, but as a small business, we help where we can.
At the moment the main two charities, Friends and Canines donate to are Greyhound Gap and Gentleshaw Wildlife Centre.
We regularly donate chews and treats to them and have wish lists available for them both.
Every time someone buys from their wishlists, we deliver them for free and add extra products to their orders.
Harvey likes to help out Greyhound Gap and be an honorary greyhound! And I was lucky enough to meet a wolfdog at Gentleshaw Wildlife Centre.
Greyhound Gap is a small independent charity set up to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome greyhounds and lurchers who find themselves in a ‘put to sleep’ situation in UK pounds. Funded almost entirely by donations, we rehome around 150 dogs each year. We can have around 40-50 dogs at any one time in our kennels based in Kidsgrove, Stoke on Trent and a further 30-40 in foster homes. Greyhound Gap operates on a national basis so our dogs can be homed in most areas throughout the UK. See Greyhound Gap’s Wish list here.
Gentleshaw Wildlife Centre, a registered charity, is a small sanctuary for exotic animals and birds of prey. As well as a hospital unit for the treatment of wild raptors, (not on display), the centre is home to over 30 different species of Bird of prey, primates, reptiles, invertebrates, Raccoons, Cats and many more. See their wishlist here.
